Inventor: HEISNER DOUGLAS L
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1995-10-05
Abstract: A wire harness-making machine for producing wire harnesses of the type in which multiple wires extend between opposing first and second electrical connector elements. The machine includes a feeding assembly which separates successive first wire connectors and a transfer nest which shuttles the first array of connectors from a first connector advancement track to a first termination station. Multiple wires are fed to the first termination station where first free ends thereof are terminated to the first connector. Once terminated to the multiple wires, the first connector is shuttled back to the first connector advancement track. The first connector is then advanced along a feedpath and a set of second free ends of the wires are transferred to a second termination station while maintaining the order of the wires. A second connector is advanced from a second feed track into the second termination station where it is terminated to the second wire free ends at the same time a succeeding first set of wire free ends is terminated at the first termination station.

Abstract: The amplifier for optical signal has a pair of pumped light sources (LM1,LM2) and a feedback circuit for regulating the pumped light sources. The feedback circuit has separate regulation device (11,7) for each pumped light source and an evaluation device (13,14) associated with each regulation device. The evaluation devices allow a control signal (D) obtained from the amplified optical signal to be weighed by a specific weighting factor (F1,F2). Pref. each weighting factor is a function of two monitor diode sensitivities. The sensitivities are provided by a quotient of the pumping light power of one or other light source and the photocurrent in a respective optoelectric transducer.

Abstract: Reactor comprising a normally vertically extending vessel containing
     (a) at least one inlet for gas and/or liquid,   (b) at least one outlet for reactor effluent, and   (c) at least one bed of solid material,    wherein each bed of solid material rests upon a support layer which is horizontally fixed in the vessel, said support layer comprising at least one opening closed by a breakplate during normal operation.
     During normal operation the openings in the support layers are closed by a breakplate, so that bypass of gas and liquid to the consecutive bed is avoided. The reactor is unloaded by cutting the caked catalyst into smaller pieces and breaking the breakplates. The catalyst pieces can then be removed from the reactor via the openings obtained. 
     The reactor is particularly suitable for use in the hydrotreatment of hydrocarbon oils.

Abstract: The method determines a movement value which describes a spatial movement of a hand-held machine tool (10) with turning drive movement as a whole. An acceleration (a) which acts on the machine tool, a velocity (v) with which it moves, or a distance (s) which it traverses, is used for determining the movement value. The movement or rotational drive of the machine tool is interrupted on reaching or overstepping a certain threshold value (s',v',a'). The values of different movement sizes are determined, and the rotational drive is interrupted only when at least two values of different movement sizes reach or overstep the predetermined threshold value. A fuzzy logic algorithm may provide the threshold value.

Abstract: Apparatus that realizes a substantial advantage by employing implied interleaving to create a systematic interleaver, that can result in a superior block error rate compared to the current data interleaving techniques in which uncorrected error bursts are distributed by the deinterleaver. The disclosed principles lead to a embodiments that essentially eliminate transmitter memory regardless of the interleaving approach employed. By way of example, block interleaving (regular or random), convolutional interleaving (regular and random) and product interleaving approaches are described. In implied interleaving, all incoming data is treated as if it is pre-interleaved and transmitted directly to its destination without alteration to its sequence, and essentially without delay. Concurrently with the transmission of the data, the data is applied to apparatus that treats the data as if it had been interleaved in accordance with a selected interleaving approach and, in accordance with such treatment, redundant symbols are generated and inserted into the transmitted data stream. At the receiver, the incoming data is delayed, corrected, and the information symbols in the incoming data are delivered to the user, corrected as necessary, in the same order as the information symbols arrived at the receiver.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium is arranged so that (1) a first transparent dielectric layer, (2) a reproduction layer showing in-plane magnetization at room temperature while showing perpendicular magnetization in response to temperature rise, (3) a second transparent dielectric layer, (4) a recording layer made of perpendicular magnetization film; and (5) a protective layer are laminated on a substrate in this order. The reproduction layer has a thickness of 5nm to 30nm, the second transparent dielectric layer has a thickness of 6nm to 40nm, and the recording layer has a thickness of 20nm to 80nm. It is possible to separately reproduce individual recording bit even when one or more adjacent recording bits exist within the diameter of the light beam converged onto a target recording bit. This is because the information of a recording magnetic domain of a portion showing in-plane magnetization is masked.

Abstract: A telecommunications system infrastructure that facilitates easy insertion of feature software into existing such telecommunications systems and easy integration of the new calling features and their implementing software with existing features and their software. The infrastructure comprises the Lucent Technologies MMCX multimedia communications server (100) and middleware-compliant communications endpoints (101-102) executing the Lucent Technologies MMCX communications middleware (111-112). Feature-implementing software has a modular client/server construction, with feature managers (server modules, 300,350) executing on the MMCX server and feature administration agents (client modules, 303-353, 304-354) executing on the endpoints. The infrastructure provides a context service (120) and a context API (121) for registering an instance of a feature manager (a user policy, 301-302, 351-352) for each user upon that user becoming entitled to the feature, an administration API (360) for communications between feature managers and feature administration agents on the user's endpoint to customize the user's user policies for the user, and a context (a cyberspace meeting room, 200) and the context API for involving the user policies of users who are parties to a call in the call and for communicating call-related events to feature servers and other service-implementing software. Call-related events are passed to user policies involved in the call, and they are given a chance to react to the events by allowing or rejecting the events. Interactions between features are managed by having feature managers register at different priorities with the context service; higher-priority modules are serially given an opportunity to allow or reject events before lower-priority modules.
